This is my go at a lemur superpet for my friend and two-time donor, Kiran. Again: To get a digital drawing made just for you, donate 10 dollars or more here and contact me about it.
Pirates have their parrots, Nathan has his Lemur.
With the growing wealth of China, many rich Chinese women are seeking alternative and exotic pets to show off their money. This has lead to a number of Chinese medical and scientific research companies to compete for this new income source by producing cross breed animals. The most successful (financially) so far has been the Lemur Cat. It is (as the name suggests) a cross between a lemur and a cat. It retains the soft fur of the cat and the coloring, but has the striped tail and yellow eyes commonly found on a lemur. It is more ferocious than the average cat but it is generally no more dangerous than a Chihuahua dog. The scientific name for this new breed is Prolos Fira.
Not legitimate, of course, but still entertaining. :)
